A friend of mine mentioned that we had sworn fealty in a previous incarnation by making an x-like cross with our lower arms.

This sounded interesting and I have always been fascinated by the Saint Andrews Cross, also called Cross Decussata or the Saltire Cross. X is the 22nd letter of the Greek alphabet, Chi.

But I have never looked into the Andrews cross, I needed the inspiration, but now the leads came from everywhere, the puzzle pieces found each other.

It’s known all over the world, and it’s a central symbol for the development on Earth, for God, Adam Kadmon, Christ, the Mother and Father, for the two powers, form and idea, and in their crossing point life appears.

With some inspiration I understood it was the cross in the fish symbol, the ichthus, and I understood that the ichthus symbol was showing the first half of the Earth period, from creation to the death of Jesus in the physical world and resurrection of Christ in our inner.

That again moved on to the next understanding, that the infinity symbol showed the full development on Earth, from Alfa to Omega.

The Ichthus

All creation takes place by the One becoming Two. After Pralaya, the cosmic night, comes the Manvantara, the cosmic day of manifestation. In the manifestation separates the conscious from the unconscious, and in the focus point between darkness and light new consciousness develops out of the darkness. See Esoteric History of Man.

The darkness is developed as a vehicle for the new to be developed, and the new soul seed is prepared to enter the vehicle. In the center of the æon, when the vehicle is ready, the universe turns inside out, the light from being outside the vehicle becomes the inside.

The gods dies in the outer world and resurrects in our inner, creating a new cosmos leaving the old to die.

The Infinity Symbol

And all creation ends by the Two becoming One, we enter Pralaya again. At the end of the development phase humanity raises together with Maitreya Buddha.

Infinity Symbol – Lemniscate

It’s interesting that alpha matches the form of the ichthus and the likeness between omega and the lemniscate is just as interesting, omega symbolizes the full development.

My friend made me aware that it looked like eyes and I thought about the Eye of Horus: .

The symbol for Taurus, the bull, is also much like the ichthus or left part of the lemniscate: .

From Aleph to Tav

Lets look at the Hebrew letters for alpha and omega, aleph and tav.

From

to .

Aleph in its oldest forms shows the head of a Bull, the first more naturalistic and the second more stylistic, but both forms are in the likeness of the ichthus. Tav in it’s oldest forms are like the crossing.

Here we have the history of Aleph and our A:

Bull, Lion and Eagle

We have three periods, the period of the Bull, the time of Shiva and Lucifer, the teachers of humanity. Then follows the period of the Lion, the time of Krishna, Christ and Horus, leading toward the first real initiation of a human, or rather two. Then follows the future period of the Eagle, the time of Christian Rosenkreutz or Maitreya Buddha, humanity have now become their own teachers.

Alfa as a Bull and Omega as an Eagle, the omega have even two wings, man gets wings. The central transition as a Lion, the X, the heart and soul of humanity.

The time of the Bull prepared mans physical body as bearer of an I, and the I entered man in the period of the Lion, and the period of the Eagle should make man a spiritual being, but the pioneers of humanity are already working on it here and now.

The Holy Grail

The grail is symbolized with the triangle pointing down, it’s the microcosm we develop in. Its the lower three hierarchies known as angels, archangels and archai in the Christian terminology.

Here more traditions are combined into one drawing. The ego is the old center of the body from when we were animals, here symbolized with a caterpillar. The day the ego accepts the new center, the ‘I’ of the soul, as a co-worker and not an enemy, the caterpillar dies and resurrects into a butterfly.

In the drawing we have the 4 lower bodies of man. Here the
ages the bodies typically are developed are written for each period. Each period corresponds to a chakra. After 28 we begin developing the higher bodies, the higher chakras.

The grail goes long back, the following picture is an example from a vast Cetho Temple complex that is located on the western slopes of Lawu Mountain, precisely in Gumeng Village, Jenawi District, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java Province.

The Lingga Yoni have strong similarities with the Ankh, the Tree of Life and the Grail, all describing the same reality.

The Lingga Yoni shown in the upper pictures look very much like a chalice when seen from the bottom, but seen from the side the symbolism behind the chalice is more clear. The chalice top is the uterus from where the new universe will grow, fructified by the old spiritual world symbolized by the stalk of the chalice.

Kali is also connected to the lower triangle, the Grail is symbol for the feminine.

In the lower and middle right pictures the Lingga Yoni looks like a chalice with the Sun as the hostie.

Artemis gives prana to all living beings in the physical world, ie that have an etheric body. The Grail is the Life Force behind the created.

From Anna May Triptychon where Joseph of Arimathea fils the Grail
with the blood coming from Jesus.

Artemis symbolizes the Mother, the creator of mankind, but the mother is hidden in most religions, as it was the masculine power that was needed to get man down into the physical. In this figure Apollo, the sun god, is shown hiding the moon god Artemis, mother nature, but she is the main power behind of our development.

Here a number of forms we know the Grail, including the human soul, up left:

The Crown Chakra is also the chalice of the etheric world in which we as physical being lie, as an inverted plant.

The old souls By Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno):

“There are hints about the New Humanity in the New Testament and specially in Revelation. The Evangelist John, two thousand years ago, saw the woman pregnant with this great idea, the New Humanity, and fixed the number of the chosen ones, the bearers of this idea at 144 000 persons. If you add these numbers 1+4+4 = 9, the number 9 signifies an evolution of men who have all the positive, noble qualities.

Some would say that these l44 000 persons are in heaven. No, they are now here, on earth; they are incarnated among the intelligent people. Some of them are writers; others, poets or men of science; and all of them push humanity forward on the path toward the new idea, toward the Divine.
These are the enemies of darkness, of the fetters that enchain humanity. And the world-wide unrest, this great change that is coming, is due to them. They will turn this world upside down.”

In the spiritual world, old age is determined by the number of times when a person was reborn on Earth. Suppose that one was reborn 500 times for 100 years – 50,000 years. He is an adult.[They are few that incarnate 500 times, even 50 times is many, but the meaning is clear.]

Everyone, who does not move, is old, and everyone, who moves is young.

Everyone, who does not think is old, and everyone, who thinks, is young.

Everyone, who does good, is young, and everyone, who does not do good, is old.

Youth and old age – these are internal psychological states in humans.

Dissatisfaction in people is old age, and satisfaction in people is youth. Joy is youth, and sorrow – old age. Health is youth, and disease is old age. Wealth is old age, and poverty is youth. One, who is sluggard, is old, and diligent people are young. Diligence is youth, idleness is old age.

At the age of 33, consciously or unconsciously, people enter a more spiritual life. They find an internal balance.

Youth can be compared to the process of involution, to going down into the matter. This process continues until the age of 33. From the 33rd year onwards, the evolutionary process, the ascending begins. And this process continues for about 33 years.

You have to come to that consciousness, in which you will not get old anymore. When you get to the age of 33, you shall not get older. When you come to the age of 33, you will keep yourself in the way you are at that moment and you will remain young as long as you wish.
Once you learn to love, you will not get older. You will be young, 33 years old. When you grow old, you will take off your old skins and you will rejuvenate in this way.

There is a period of 7 years. Conditions change every 7 years.

From the 1st to 7th year – it is a child.

From the 7th to 14th year – it is already the second phase; feelings start to develop.

From the 14th to 21st year – the mind develops within these 7 years.

In other words, the body grows during the first 7 years. Children, in general, love to eat, they serve their stomachs.
During the second seven years they serve their hearts.

In the third seven years they begin to think a little. That is why students from 14th to 21st year become poets.

At high school, almost all of them write poems.

From the 21st to 28th year they become rational.

Things repeat. From the 28th year on, you are in the fourth period. You enter the utmost limit. You are in the causal world. All possibilities are there.
Young children get sick when they start teething. Then inflammation occurs and temperature increases. Girls, at the age of 14, pass through certain painful conditions again. So, in all transitional periods, humans pass through painful conditions, and namely: from the 2nd to the 7th year, from 7-14, from 15-21, from 21-28, from 28-35, etc.

From the 1st to 7th year, one passes through the state of growing – a child does not go away from home.

From 7th to 14th year, one passes through the phase of an animal – he begins to move freely and goes away from home.

From 14th to 21st year, one begins to think, enters the phase of true human.

From age of 21 to 42, one again passes successively through all these seven years, through these three phases:

from the age of 21 to 28, one is again in the phase of growing.

From the age of 28 to 35, one is again in the phase of an animal and from the age of 35 to 42 – in the phase of human.

The first seven years you are in the physical world, the second seven years you are in the astral world, the third seven years – in the mental world, and the fourth seven years – in the causal world. You will pass through these worlds up.

As after 49 years you will be given conditions for something to be repeated for you. If something is not done, the same conditions will be given for you to do what you have missed. If you do not do it again, after 49 years you will have the same conditions. Twice in life you are given conditions for something. So, one is smart if he uses the first conditions.

On Old Souls – Kim Graae Munch

The old souls live most of their lives without knowing other old souls, actually feeling quite alone and different, even as a paria, often as a servant and underpaid teacher.

They long for company, but are usually disappointed as few understand their thoughts, so they actually feel good alone creating art or making their work to art.

They have of course a karmic relation to the people around them, they have followed them a long time, although some have left and others have come to their group. They have love for them, but they long for a love that are as strong as their own.

If the old souls met each other when they were young, they wouldn’t feel alone, they wouldn’t feel different as they had each other to mirror in. The biggest danger would be if they simply forgot the younger souls and only played with each other, it’s much more fun, they could enjoy each other’s creative ideas.

The old souls learns meekness through feeling different, learns to be a servant, as they know what to do, what the young souls don’t. It’s easier to do it themselves than instruct others.

They are born with love in their soul, they care. But they have to learn to give help to self help, that they can’t handle others problems, others karma, they can’t save the world, bear the burden of the world alone.

Their low self esteem makes them ready to give their life for others, makes them sacrifice their own happiness for others. Happiness are often a dream for them, not necessarily something they have experienced.

But when they sacrifice their life for others they actually make the young soul to an ungrateful junkie of their service.

The largest problem for the old soul is to understand that they are lovable, because they are! Their soul is beauty, truth and loving care, it’s the stuff the soul consists of.

It’s actually a tragedy as most old souls are loved by their surroundings, but they don’t see it, they have been alienated through so many years. They can’t believe it, even when seeing it, and they often obstruct others when they try to show affection or love, not to be disappointed.

They have many problems getting anima and animus loving each other, thought, feelings and inspiration to understand each other, loving their own physical manifestation in the world, filling their heart with joy, love and courage.

At 49 I began the ascent from this depression, what I later found out was called the Dark Night of the Soul. I was guided through this ascent primarily through dreams, but also other ways. I was instructed about when to sleep and when and what to eat, and much more. In this ascent I lost 50 pounds and did away with a candidiasis.

But this is about the rhythm of the day, why and when to sleep and something about sleeplessness in the Dark Night of the Soul.

I was told I should sleep between 10pm and 6am, and and I found out the best sleeping time was between 10pm and 2am (22 to 2 looks better .)

I have thought much about why it was so, and I found that Ayurveda described some rules about the different periods and their meaning, but it actually didn’t explain why. But the other day I remembered that the etheric sun was diametrically opposed the physical sun, it went north when the physical sun went south, and the etheric sun must go up when the physical goes down, the physical shines on us by day and the etheric sun shines on us by night, and in that way sends energy down to us all around the clock.

So midnight is midday in the etheric world, where the ether energy is at its highest.

It also explains why it is easier to sleep between 9 and 10 pm than from 10 pm and forward, the etheric sun rays are much stronger after 10pm so the energy we receive is much more intense and makes it difficult to sleep.

And it explains why Its better to sleep at night.

When we sleep in daytime there is very little etheric energy available, so our etheric body don’t restitute correctly and it often leads to stress and depressions.

Another thing is that certain beings use the darkness in the etheric world to gain access to our lone etheric body, some taking away the energy of the etheric body and others trying to get into the body, so we wake feeling weaker.

In connection with the Dark Night of the Soul, I was told that I shouldn’t eat or drink anything later than 6:45pm, a curious time, why not 7, but my best guess is that it depends on longitude and time zone, but I haven’t looked more into it. The reason was that the physical body should disturb the etheric body with activities in the digestive system.

I should sleep at 9:45pm and I woke at 5:45am sharp every morning. And it was independent of summertime, I woke curiously enough 5:45am before and after the shift.

Later in the process I slept from 10pm (9:45) to 2am, and was awake and contemplating the rest of the night. From 10pm to 2am the etheric sun is highest and strongest, filling the etheric body with energy, and from 2am to 6am the astral body work on the etheric body, using the rest of the etheric sun rays to work by.

Dreams are nearly always a response on something happening the day before.

Dreams are pictures of the moment, and they shouldn’t be seen as more, the next night brings a new dream, but if it’s a repetitive problem the theme will be handled again and again after each occurrence.

Dreams uses symbols, Its really a language, and the spiritual world don’t have the moral inhibitions as people have down here, so sexual symbology showing the state between anima and animus is quite common, death is also a common symbol for killing joy, love and creativity.

The reason for dreams are to make us understand what happened so we can learn by it and maybe correct the done.

If we have created karma and don’t recognize it, we will have to handle it in our next life, it will become part of our etheric body. On the other hand, If we become aware of the deed we will have the possibility to handle it in this life, making the burden in our next life easier to bear.

Old souls actually don’t create much karma, although their surroundings in the younger years try to make them believe they are big sinners. Old souls often walk with a heavy burden on their shoulders, but they tread lightly.

Another case and more common for old souls are missed opportunities or wrong decisions. They get the chance to change it, to get their life on tracks again.

Other things that can initiate dreams are serious drinking, dangerous pills, physical exercises that are dangerous for the etheric body, monotonous reading of dreary uncreative books. It often give repetitive nightmares.

The dreams are mostly corrections from the super conscious to the subconscious, it’s a language from before Kali Yuga, the Tower of Babel, it’s understood by the astral body, by the Limbic system. Under hypnosis we understand the language fully (source Erich Fromm.)

Most dreams go directly to the subconscious, but a few are given to our wake consciousness too, as much pain can be avoided if we act consciously on the problems too.

The ego is a foreign entity, kind of parasite on the subconscious, and it don’t understand the dream-language. When we fight with ourselves it’s actually the ego we fight, as the ego fears anything new.

Our problems is caused by the ego, its fears and illusions makes us act stupidly. So the dreams are corrections to the errors created by the ego and that is why we have difficulties understanding our own dreams. The egos wishful thinking can interpret even the deepest criticism as beautiful praise.

First when we can look at ourselves with disinterest, when we are more interested in truth than afraid of losing face, do we have a chance to interpret our dreams truthfully.

Literature

I was dissatisfied with the Jungian dream interpretation and with the little that the esoteric traditions wrote about dream interpretation, so I started a longer study, and found a connection between dream interpretation and the esoteric knowledge, and I found better dream interpretation methods than the Jungian that matched my own experiences: Dream Interpretation in Esoteric Work

Most that see it think of it as cute, but it’s actually ingenious, and a good example that shows gold nuggets can be found everywhere.

Let’s us now look at the steps up the chakras:

Root Chakra – Earth. This is the most physical chakra and is about basic survival. The problem is fear: Understand that what you fear is illusionary.

Hara Chakra – Water. This is the etheric chakra and is about life and pleasure. The problem is guilt: We should learn to forgive ourselves, accept the reality and release all the guilt and blame within us.

Solar Plexus – Fire. This is the astral chakra and is about willpower. The problem is shame that blocks the will and disappointment in yourself. Release the shame.

Heart Chakra – Air. This is the soul chakra and is about love. The problem is grief, sadness and sorrow, make it conscious, examine it and then accept it as it is, letting the pain dissolve. Then let yourself be filled and renewed with love and joy.

Throat Chakra – Sound. This chakra is about truth and the negative side is lies we tell ourselves: our wishful thinking, our opinions. We must create a genuine love of truth.

Third Eye – Light. This chakra is about duality: our belief that we are separate from the rest of humankind, from the rest of creation.

Crown Chakra – Thought. Cosmic contact with the higher hierarchies. The problem is attachment to the physical. Whereas the first six chakras are steps we have to take, the seventh is by Grace when we have passed the test of the first six.

It has Greek subtitles, but they can be turned off in the Settings/Subtitles.

Fear, guilt, shame, grief, lies, duality and attachment, are all problems in ourselves, but we project them out on the world.

Fear. We give the surrounding world as reason for our fear, but what we fear is our own invention.

We search for everything that we can feel guilty about: We often take responsibility for things that are not our responsibility. We give a child (ourselves as child) responsibilities that even a grown up can’t bear.

Shame. We are ashamed of who we are, that we don’t live up to our own often childish expectations. This feeling of shame often creates a constant repressed anger, waiting to explode.

Grief. Our heart is void of love: we feel alone, feel unloved, feel godforsaken. We don’t see all the people that love us; we don’t give them possibility to show their affection because we are afraid of rejection.

Lies. Our opinions, subjective truth, illusions and everything that hinders us seeing the world as it is, or makes us afraid of losing face, all destroy the love and joy of truth.

Duality. Our great illusion is that we are separate from others: that it is ‘them and us’, that we are in conflict with the world, when in reality we are the world.

Attachment. We believe that the physical world has significance in itself.

The three lowest chakras are paired with the three highest chakras, and they are transformed together. Fear and attachment are connected; guilt and duality are connected; shame and lies are connected. Grief stands alone and is the catalyst of the others. The heart is about love, and grief is lack of love. Attachment is caused by fear, and guilt is the result of belief in duality – you have done something to another, without understanding that you have done it against yourself. Shame is the result of lies, of illusions.

It seems to be a standard procedure within the biological world:

The illustration below shows how Steiner describes it, with each enclosure representing a human being, Animals would not have the group soul in the enclosure: it would be outside.

When we sleep, our astral body and soul leaves the enclosure and when we die the ether body unfolds too.

Here some examples of the aura, kind of egg-shaped, resembling the Grail, especially the open one in fig. 8. where the folding has been opened and the cocoon is empty. At initiation the cocoon will open at the top, at the crown chakra, but without the soul leaving the cocoon.

The more pure our soul, the more it is filled with light and the more connected it is at the top. I believe that it opens fully at initiation, when the crown chakra opens.

These drawings are by Eli Wamberg of his students auras, from his private diary.
Fig 5. a male student, fig. 6. same student, four month later, fig. 7. a female student
and fig. 8. a male student after death.

The following table shows the bodies we had in the four Earth-incarnations we have had until now, how much had been infolded into the physical in each period.

In the old Saturn incarnation we were as today’s minerals, at old Sun as today’s plants and on the old Moon as today’s animals, and today the soul are incarnated too, with the I.

“We all start life as a small ball of cells. These cells proliferate and organize into tissues, which in turn grow and fold into the complex form that defines a human being. The process that leads from a formless ball to a functional organism—known as morphogenesis …”

Infatuation can turn the world up and down for most people, both the happy, but especially the unhappy love stories.

Most people form some opinions and prejudices about other people, especially if they have lived with someone before, ie. we have formed images of the opposite sex, which are completely shaped by an intolerable old partner, or we can have some impressions from our parents marriage, what especially make strong impressions in connection with arranged marriages.

The infatuation makes us forget our opinions and prejudices, so we don’t project them on the innocent chosen one. We get the opportunity to learn to know the new person and thereby overwrite the deeply printed opinions from our previous experiences.

There is only the problem, that we may fall in love with a person who resembles the old partner without being warned by our prejudices.

In arranged marriages, the parties are missing the infatuation, so they always project their prejudices, fears and expectations on the partner. And it can be scary.

All our opinions are stored in the solar plexus, in the astral body, but the infatuation raises us up into the heart, into the soul, completely without reservation, the heart lives in the moment, enjoying the moment fully.

So living in the Now is like falling in love, what we can see in the descriptions of many saints and masters, like Rumi.

When we live in fear, anger, hatred, desire or whatever, our consciousness is in solar plexus and all the conflicts we experience become stored there, as opinions.

When we live happily, our consciousness is more in the heart, but if we are overwhelmed by anger or fear, we abruptly sink into solar plexus again and all the negativity we have collected, fill again our consciousness.

It’s what happens in the dark night of the soul, we sink deeply into the dark subconsciousness of solar plexus, and our goal is to solve these dark opinions, it’s spring cleaning, so the sun can shine down into the distant corners of our subconscious mind, and we can raise up into the heart without ever being bothered by darkness from the subconscious again.

In many ways the life before the seventies was in this way, although the state had made life somewhat complicated, but most people still managed their own time, and the children wasn’t put into institutions and few worked in public administration, they were their own masters or had much influence on their work. My father used much time building on the house, and generally lived a very little organized life with lots of freedom.

About Jon Jandai: Jon is a farmer from northeastern Thailand. He founded the Pun Pun Center for Self-reliance, an organic farm outside Chiang Mai, with his wife Peggy Reents in 2003.

Pun Pun doubles as a center for sustainable living and seed production, aiming to bring indigenous and rare seeds back into use. It regularly hosts training on simple techniques to live more sustainably.

Outside of Pun Pun, Jon is a leader in bringing the natural building movement to Thailand, appearing as a spokesperson on dozens of publications and TV programs for the past 10 years. He continually strives to find easier ways for people to fulfill their basic needs. For more information visit http://www.punpunthailand.org

I just saw this quote by Rudolf Steiner, and I had to read it more than once to understand it fully.

But it is sensible, only what we do out of love is fully our doing, if we don’t do it out of love, something else have ‘forced’ us to do it, desires, opinions, public opinions, regulations, laws, and so forth.

So to be truly free is to live in love, but it’s of course not some hallelujah kind of love or a sentimental one, it’s a genuine state of mind, being in peace in the soul.

But it’s impossible to live that way in a materialistic society, there is not much room for compassion and care in a society build on things and consumption.

We need a society build on Jon’s experience, a decentralized society, with local sustainable production.

https://kimgraaemunch.wordpress.com/2017/02/17/the-marriage-of-anima-and-animus/#commentsFri, 17 Feb 2017 18:33:45 +0000http://kimgraaemunch.wordpress.com/?p=4536]]>One of the first things I learned in astrology was that we first saw ourselves as independent beings around the Saturn Return at 28, at the opening of the heart chakra, until then we could always go home to our parents if the physical world did resist our aspirations, but at that time we for the first time began seeing ourselves as independent beings responsible for ourselves.

Here we open our heart chakra, our soul moves fully in, throwing all foreign influence out. This can be a hard time, both internally with the ego who prefer status quo, and with persons who tries to hold authority over them, mostly out of the best will.

For women it often mean that the masculine side dominates, the physical with the ego, shows more aggressively, and for men it’s the opposite, the feminine side dominates, the physical side with the ego shows more meek, their aggressions are inward.

When the feminine and masculine sides unite, then thinking, feelings and inspiration trust each other, they become master in their own house.

Around 42 we handle most of the tasks around the third eye, we now begin training our full potential, and often we work ourselves down in work depressions, and our anima and animus separates again, our heart becomes closed again, we loose the connection to our soul, we feel as if God have left us.

From around 49 we begin the ascent again, we begin handling the rest of the karma from the life we haven’t solved in the previous seven periods, we work our way up from the darkness of our solar plexus to the heart, and often higher, to the throat and even to the third eye and the crown chakra. This is also called the Chümical Wedding.

I think there can be some heavy fights between daughters and parents if they are here, the parents fight both their own ego and are attacked by the girls ego too, it’s not easy, but I think it’s necessary for the younger to have this resistance to fight their way through, it may be necessary for the parents too. A keyword for the parents is meekness.
